Every now and again, everyone has an off minute, and says or does something unkind, thoughtless, or just plain hurtful. Toxic people have many traits that happen too consistently...and, too often.

The difference between a person having a toxic moment, and a person who has many toxic traits is that the healthier person will acknowledge, take responsibility for, and apologize after behaving poorly. A #Hijackal--a relentlessly difficult, often narcissistic one--will not be accountable or responsible. They are even likely to blame their poor behavior on you!

That's why it is SO important to take stock of what is going on in your relationship with a partner, parent, sibling, adult child, or co-worker. This episode will help you do that. I suggest you create a tally as you listen. How many of these 40 traits does the person exhibit? Oops!

HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

• My personal definition of a toxic relationship
• Why healthy people often give toxic people too much understanding, compassion, and "wiggle room."
• Passive-aggressive behaviors (Read my book on Amazon, Stop! That's Crazy-Making! How to Quit Playing the Passive-Aggressive Game )
• 40 behaviors that create toxic relationships
• Ways to understand issues you may not have had your finger on before now
• Understanding the nature of a toxic relationship to make decisions about your future.

If you had a toxic parent, you'll be more susceptible to finding a toxic partner acceptable. That's really something to watch for.

Big hugs!
